Anime Expo 2009
My growing AX 2009 gallery
Whew! AX 2009 was a trip to be remembered! Lots of things happened at once and I was bearly catching it all as it flew by. I took many pix and the ones in the link above are the ones that made the cut. Took lots of photos of the Capcom gathering, but due to the crowd, most of them turned out kinda crummy. -=Sorry!=- Overall I had a great time. Being my birthday and all, having time with Laura and various other people we meet regularly at conventions was a great way to spend the weekend. Transformers meet was the super highlight and we rocked the town on Saturday and Friday - causing massive traffic jams and jaws dropping to the floor.
The Good
TRANSFORMERS MEET! Frenzy, Jazz, Bumblebee, and Lazerbeak all in one spot, all in front of blazing cameras!
Westin Bonadventure is the craziest hotel I've ever been in. Weird size/ shape/ elevators/ the crowd/ great service/ awesomeness.
Con activities were good enough to keep me entertained.
The Meh
Dealer's room was kinda crummy - I didn't end up buying much.
As usual, people don't remember to shower.
Crowd kinda sucked.
Driving back n forth was really MEH
The Bad
Laura got super exhausted and had to stay in most of one afternoon =( poor sweetheart!
Only saw a good friend of mine (we used to goto cons together a lot) for maybe 30 mins on my birthday XD
Expensive stuff like food n drink.
The Ugly
"Give me back my I-pod" crazy lolita girl who beat up and broke the glasses of some poor guy. Long story short: We were on the bus, fight breaks out, guy gets jumped by the girl and has his glasses smashed on the ground over an I-pod or what not, security shows up after 20-30 mins, does nothing.
Various disturbing crossplay and ppl with no shirt on.
Extra disgusting B.O.
Masquerade sound quality.
I finally had my own camera this time, so I hope I caught all the pix I wanted! There were tonnes of great costumes and people this year!
Hope next year is as fun!
